The bones of normally healthy children are healthier, more pliable, than adults therefore they heal quickly with proper care. As you age, your bones will deteriorate without proper diet.
The real reason bones heal faster in children is because the layer surrounding the bones in the body called the periosteum, which happens to contain many nerves and capillaries and therefore blood, is thicker in children meaning there is more blood supply to the bone bringing the substances it needs to create more bone or hydroxyapatite to the area of the fracture.

Why might an injury to a bone heal faster when compared to muscle or nerve cell?
Your bones are designed for getting fractured. They unite readily, specially in case of children. Muscles also heal fast when stitched well. You are unfortunate in that the nerve cells heal poorly or do not heal at all. But then the nerve damage is rather uncommon in clinical practice, except in few instances.
